[Python-Dev] Merging email 4.0 to Python 2.5 svn trunk (original) (raw)

Last night I merged email 4.0 from the sandbox into my working copy of the Python svn trunk and ran "make testall". I hit one failure, in test_pyclbr.py. The test was importing email.Parser and expecting a real module, however in email 4.0 email.Parser is a placeholder object which exposes a backward compatible API for email.parser.

The fix is simple, change 'P' to 'p' in the test, but I want to make sure that nobody cares that import('email.Parser') now returns an object that isn't a module, but acts enough like the original module for all intents and purposes.
